What's the Deal with the Holy Spirit?

Understanding and Experiencing the Holy Spirit

March 6th - April 24th Every Tuesday 7:00pm
618 Whiteoak Tyler, TX

"What's the deal the with this Holy Spirit stuff?" I blurted out on the patio at our local Coffee Shop. We had just finished small group, where I had noticed a few causual references to "the Spirit". I had been going to a new Church for about 3 months and everyone there was saying Holy Spirit this or Holy Spirit that. In my old Church we only said the Holy Spirit right before we dunked somebody (baptism).. you know Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, spash.

"You should come to this prayer meeting, the Holy Spirit has been showing up there stronger than I've experienced in a long time." said Jennifer.

"Sure", I said with a mixture of excitement, confusion, questions, and cynicism.

When I got home I went to the bible gateway and searched for the word Spirit and hit print. I started in Genesis and a footnote said that "breath" in Hebrew is the same as Spirit. I went back to the gateway and typed "breath" and hit print. Over the next few days I read every single verse in the bible that had to do with breath or spirit.

When I arrived at the prayer meeting, I wanted the filling of the Holy Spirit. But ONLY if it was REAL only if it wasn't some emotional thing, but the genuine touch of God.

That was 10 years ago and my life has never been the same since. It's like the scene in the matrix where Mr. Anderson chooses the blue pill. A third of the Bible suddenly made sense to me for the first time. I no longer just believed in God, but I knew Him and experienced Him. If I've learned one thing about the Holy Spirit, since then it is that you can't make Him do anything. But it's my hope that this group will discuss, experience, and grow in the Holy Spirit in a way that truly touches people and releases them into their callings and giftings.

If you have any questions. Please feel free to comment to this post or send me a message b_t_waters at mail dot yahoo ( add dot com of course. Sorry to type it out like that, but I really hate spam).

Women's Brunch

The Tyler Vineyard Women are getting together again this Saturday. The cars will pull out at 10:00 from the Vineyard Parking lot for a 10:30 bruch at the Cracker Barrell. It's a great way to get to know each other in a small settting (or so my wife tell's me).

Breathe - A night of worship and intercession

Where: Tyler Vineyard
When: 7:30 - ?

We are getting together again for a night of worship and prayer like we kicked off the year with.
Last time was really powerfull as we came together with no particular agenda, other than to seek the Lord and here from Him together. David will be back leading in harp in bowl style spontanious worship and we will have plenty of opportunities for people to share what the Lord is speaking to them.
